Bob Ryder is a hapless bureaucrat whose bad luck streak comes to a crescendo when he accidentally kills the city’s masked vigilante, The Knight. Oops.

Now trapped at the bottom of an abyss where not a ray of light reaches, they have only one thing to do: wait for help and survive. Victims of their anxiety, they begin to lose their bearings. Fear and madness set in, making it impossible to discern reality from illusion…
